OILER.

PECIEHCATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,124, dated October 5, 1886.

Application tllcd l ulll'llilly11-188". Serial No. ll lfl-L'l. (N'o model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l", ALviN L. FISHER, of New Brunswick, in the county of ltliddlesex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the inveir tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the to same.

My invention relates to an improvement in oilers, the object being to provide their spouts with swing-stoppers ot'reliablc, durable, simple, and compact construction.

With these ends in view my invention consists in the combination, with. a can and a spout therefor, of atube extending transversely through the spout, and a s\\'i11gsto1 pei pivotally attached to the spout throughthe said tube.

My invention further consists in certain de tails ot'constriu-tion and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in seetion,ol' an oiler embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 a detached view in elevation of the swing-stopper.

The can A and removable stopper B of the oiler may be of any approved construction. The swing-stopper consists of a loo1.),G,'l"or1ned of wire and having arms D D, a box, E, lo cated between and secured to the ends of the said arms and open at one and closed at the other end, and provided at its closed end with an aperture, F, a plunger, G, located in the open end of such box and reciprocating there in, and a spiral spring, II, interposed between the plunger and the closed end of the box, the said plunger being provided at one end with an opening, I, adapting it to fit over the end of the spout, and containing an elastic cushion, J, of cork or equivalent material for sealing the end of the spent, and at the other end with a stem, K, projecting through the aperture F of the box, and provided upon its projecting end with a button, L, through which the plunger is retracted into the box against the force ot'the spring, which tends constantly to force it in the opposite direction. A tube, M, extending transversely throughthe spout near the base thereot' and constructed and arranged to permit the oil, to flow around it and through the spout, atl'ords a means for 5;, pivotally attaching the swing stopper described to the spout, and this is doneby pass ing the loop of the said stopper through the said tube, as shown. The spring ol' the stopper holds the plunger in place over the end of the spout, and causes the cushion in the plunger to seal the spout against the escape of oil. To use the oiler, the plunger is re tracted into the box against the force of the spring by the button and the stopper swung 6 aside. To seal the oilcr again, the plunger is retracted by the button, as described, and the stopper swung into alignment with the tube, and the plunger being then released will he toned down over the end of the spout.

The spring of my improved stopper pie vents the, plunger from being accidentally displaced and the spout unsealed, while the tube and loop torm. eiteetive means .l'or permanently pivoting the stopper to the spout. If desired, 7 the arms may be separated and booked at their lower ends and introduced into the opposite ends oi. the tube, from which they might then be withdrawn and the stopper detached from the spout at pleasure.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to seen re by Letters atent, is-

1.. In an oiler, the combination, with a can and a spout therefor, ot' a tnbeextemling transversel y through the spout and a swing-stopper provided with arms enteri ng the said tube, substantially as set forth.

2. In an oiler, the combination, with a can and a spout thereior,ot' a tube ext ending trans versely through the spout and a swingstop per provided with a loop extending through the said tube, substantially as set forth.

In an oiler, the combination, with a can and a spout therefor, of a swingstopper having a plunger, a spring for controlling the same, a box for the plunger,and a spring and arms attached to the box and pivotally con nected with the spout, substantially as set forth.

4. In an 01101, the combination, with a can In testimony whereof I have signed this and a spout therefor, of a swing-stopper p1ospecification in thepresence of two subscribing IO vided at one end with an. opening containing l witnesses.

a cushion and at its other end with a stem, at

spring for controlling such plunger, a boX for the plunger and spring, and arms attached to \Vitnesses:

the box and pivotally connected with the G. W. LUNT, spout, substantially as set forth. V. S, VAN NORTWICK.
